Preparing for Terrorism: Tools for Evaluating the Metropolitan Medical Response System Program

Preparing for Terrorism: Tools for Evaluating the Metropolitan Medical Response System Program

Board on Health Sciences Policy
4/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The Metropolitan Medical Response System program of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services provides funds to major U. S. cities to help them develop plans for coping with the health and medical consequences of a terrorist attack with chemical, biological, or radiological agents. DHHS asked the Institute of Medicine to assist in assessing the effectiveness of the MMRS program by developing appropriate evaluation methods, tools, and processes to assess both its own management of the program and local preparedness in the cities that have participated in the program. This book provides the managers of the MMRS program and others concerned about local capabilities to cope with CBR terrorism with three evaluation tools and a three-part assessment method. The tools are a questionnaire survey eliciting feedback about the management of the MMRS program, a table of preparedness indicators for 23 essential response capabilities, and a set of three scenarios and related questions for group discussion. The assessment method described integrates document inspection, a site visit by a team of expert peer reviewers, and observations at community exercises and drills.
